   I just made one of these in Python: https://github.com/bradjasper/sprite/blob/master/sprite Currently it only does fixed-width sprites, but handles the generation of CSS for you.

   I run into this problem and my solution has been to block distracting sites. This gets me 90% of the value of being offline without taking required APIs offline. I wrote this to help: https://github.com/bradjasper/focus

   Separation of layout and content allows you to do things like this: http://www.csszengarden.com A few benefits that may be worth the headaches of floating divs: * Redesign your pages without ever touching HTML (mobile/tv version) * Improv

   For the same reason StackExchange breaks up their Q/A sites into niches. It's a better experience for the user. It creates a community around the niche. A brand. It builds momentum faster. What if StackOverflow, MathOverflow and Startups we

    I accomplish this with a simple Python script: http://github.com/bradjasper/focus I felt guilty writing a script to stop from procrastinating, but it has actually helped tremendously.

    Thanks for the recommendation. I've added them to the list.

    Thanks, this is a good suggestion and something I've been thinking about lately as the number of sites listed has increased. Do you think a description of each tool is necessary or just the "Best of" list?

    Glad to see other people find this useful. If you have any suggestions for good tools I'm missing please let me know.

    These syntax changes move Sass closer to things web developers are familiar with. I believe renaming !variable to $variable is more intuitive for most web developers. Also I've made the mistake multiple times of forgetting to use an equal s

    Wordoid is great. Another favorite of mine is: http://www.nxdom.com/ Shameless plug: I threw up http://domaingroovy.com/ to keep track of sites like these. Maybe someone else will find it useful.

    Yes, I do. But that doesn't change my statement. If you're not willing to break your business to change with the times, someone else will--and by the time you react it's too late.

    I agree and don't think it's limited to programming. Considering business, it's difficult for a large established organization to make drastic changes. It's much easier for a new entrant (startups) to innovate because they don't have the sa

    I don't agree with this. People without ADD experience significant benefits from using Adderall because it's an amphetamine--not because they have undiagnosed ADD. Any amphetamine helps you think clearly through being more alert and ability

    Assuming you provide full-disclosure for the review, why is this sleazy? He's looking for exposure, not artificial 5-star ratings. Yes he was a jerk and you are well within your right to decline offers like this, but I don't understand why

    As they discuss, will proxies have to specifically enable Web Sockets to allow this to replace AJAX? I thought this was the same problem Flash sockets had, traffic being blocked.

    Have you had any problems using this in production? My understanding with using Flash/Java is that all traffic has to be tunneled through port 80 to not interfere with proxy servers. Even then sometimes traffic that doesn't look like HTTP c

    I agree. I was recently 4 hours into a flight from Chicago to Germany on a large double-decker Airbus when I started smelling smoke on the plane. Suddenly I see flight attendants running to the back of the plane with fire extinguishers. Oth
